For the most part, the number of mental illnesses in Bethesda, as compared to the national averages is quite low. However, the troubling part of these numbers is that these numbers are growing year over year, and there doesn’t seem to be any end in sight to the increased number of bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, stress, anxiety or depression cases in Bethesda. According to The National Mental Health Association of Montgomery County, increased living costs, longer than average commute times in the D.C. area, and societal pressures such as school grades and test scores, climbing the corporate ladder, and more work hours put in each week are all attributing to the increase in the number of mental illness diagnoses in the area.
